.vtk to .szplt convertor

This script can convert .vtk rectilinear grid files to .dat or .szplt files for viewing in Tecplot

Enabling Conversions .xdmf / .vtr / .vtk to Tecplot .dat / .tec / .plt / .szplt

Instructions

Working in Linux

  1. Open Paraview readable formats in Paraview.

  2. File>Save Data...>select format as legacy .vtk and ascii.

  3. Keep .vtk file in the folder containing script.

  4. Copy libtecio.so from Tecplot path/to/tecplot/installation/bin to tecio directory

  5. Run script:

    for output as .szplt

    		python vtk2tecplot.py szplt

    for output as .dat

    		python vtk2tecplot.py dat

Dependencies

  1. Numpy
  2. TECIO.dll (included)
  3. tecio_szl.py from github.com/Tecplot/handyscripts/tree/master/python/dataconversion/ (included)
  4. libtecio.so or tecio.dll (not included)

Very limited testing done! Sucessfully converts a .vtk file generated by paraview from a 3d flow simulation snapshot to .dat and .szplt file readable by tecplot. May need modifications to work with 2D plots, different type of grid, etc.
